I got called .... something...by someone who only looks at the $ involved. My problem is I see too many impacts to something that most people break down into a profit equation.

It forces people who aren't digitally literate or can't afford the tech to transition from paper to e-bills which is a HUGE learning curve.

I'm a middle-aged corporate software trainer. I regularly the frustration and impact to self-worth that new tech and new processes have on people who have worked with computers their entire careers. This move is unfair to Anyone with mobility issues or are isolated.

It will also impact small businesses, like those on Etsy, that rely on Can Post for shipping. Some people might still order but why? Amazon delivers to your door next day..

Agreed. Someone ar Toastmasters gave a great, inspirational speech today about human connection. This will further isolate people and reduce a large number of middle class jobs, both of which will have a negative impact on 🇨🇦 society and economy

So glad you consider the thoughts and feelings of people who don't agree with your stance 'ridiculous'. You do you. And I am the furthest from 'conservative' you can get. That is typically the stance of people who value 'tax savings' over people. Goodbye

And who's front lawn will be grabbed to install these things? And the cost? There's no free space in my neighbourhood. Not to mention the debris as everyone litters their flyers and they blow around the neighbourhood...

And that's all without considering the job losses and ripple effect on the economy from a reduction in the middle class... We are all going to pay for this decision, it's just not be as easy to track as a basic balance sheet.

💯In AB, with this winter's weather, many people couldn't leave their house without ice cleats because sidewalks were treacherous with the thaw/freeze cycle. Plus seniors are going to be pushed to the digital world w/o adequate understanding of how to use tech & protect their privacy/data.

So now I have to buy a printer, paper and toner cartridges to print all the bills and other important paperwork I get. Another big win for corporations under Carney

As well as cancelling the lab hub, after construction had started... I wonder how much that cost us?

I'll give him this; he's good for CEOs. As someone who voted for him, I feel betrayed and abandoned and grieve the great countryI grew up in. Under his 'leadership' its everyone for themselves. It's too bad his "actions" don't match his speeches, he might actually be a decent human then. Toodles

And yes, I have read the MOU. I live in Alberta. That clause is meaningless. The UCP won't adhere to it, anymore than they have adhered to anything else. Carney gave the UCP a win. We'll be stuck with them another 4 years and he threw Eby under the bus. Absolutely unforgivable.

Onthesidelines5 🇨🇦 (she/her) @onthesidelines5.bsky.social · 14/02/2026
Did you read my reply? He makes deals with people who harm others. As for guns, he has examples from other countries that have experienced gun violence to follow (too many, sadly) if he wanted to craft another speech. He's good at speeches when they're about trade and money.

Onthesidelines5 🇨🇦 (she/her) @onthesidelines5.bsky.social · 14/02/2026
The MOU with Alberta shows that Carney supports the UCP, their destruction of universal health care, their trampling of human rights, their connection to separatists and Americans, and their disdain for Canada

Onthesidelines5 🇨🇦 (she/her) @onthesidelines5.bsky.social · 14/02/2026
You aren't. And while anyone who criticizes him gets attacked on BlueSky, I will never trust him after the MOU with Alberta. He's a guy who crafts and delivers a good speech while making deals with those who harm human rights. Has he said anything about guns after this tragedy?

I assume the experts saying that a US invasion is unlikely are saying that so Trump accolades don't realize we believe that it's only a matter of time.

Carney? The speech was well written and he's given really good speeches before... actions, words and all that...

Not only are some of the people around me stupid in terms of not understanding how wonderful our country is, but absolutely ignorant of the work, policies, processes and costs required to do what they think will be easy. I can't even begin to understand the lack of long term thinking.

I think we need to stop electing business owners & require a background in constitutional law and/or diplomacy. My ex always thought that countries should be run as a business; that has lead to disaster led by several crime bosses.
